Esetera 9
1 I KA malama umikumamalua, oia hoi ka malama o Adara, i ka la umikumamakolu, i ka wa kokoke e hookoia'i ka olelo a me ke kanawai o ke alii, i ka la i manao ai na enemi o na Iudaio e lanakila maluna o lakou; ua hoololiia nae, a lanakila na Iudaio maluna o ka poe i inaina mai ia lakou;
Now in the twelfth month, which is the month Adar, on the thirteenth day of the month, when the king’s commandment and his decree came near to be put in execution, on the day that the enemies of the Jews hoped to conquer them, (but it turned out that the opposite happened, that the Jews conquered those who hated them),
2 Hoakoakoa'e la na Iudaio maloko o ko lakou mau kulanakauhale ma na mokuna a pau o ke alii o Ahasuero, e kau ka lima maluna o na mea i imi e hoopoino ia lakou. Aole kanaka i hiki ke ku imua o lakou, no ka mea, kau ae la ka makau ia lakou maluna o na kanaka a pau.
the Jews gathered themselves together in their cities throughout all the provinces of the King Ahasuerus, to lay hands on those who wanted to harm them. No one could withstand them, because the fear of them had fallen on all the people.
3 A o na'lii a pau o na aina, a me na kiaaina, a me na'lii aimoku, a me na mea hana i ka hana a ke alii, kokua no lakou i na Iudaio; no ka mea, kau ae la ka makau ia Moredekai maluna o lakou.
All the princes of the provinces, the local governors, the governors, and those who did the king’s business helped the Jews, because the fear of Mordecai had fallen on them.
4 No ka mea, ua kiekie o Moredekai maloko o ka hale o ke alii, a kaulana aku la ia ma na aina a pau. No ka mea, o ua kanaka la o Moredekai hoi, nui ka mahuahua ana o kona kiekie.
For Mordecai was great in the king’s house, and his fame went out throughout all the provinces, for the man Mordecai grew greater and greater.
5 A luku aku la na Iudaio i ko lakou poe enemi a pau, i ka hahau ana o ka pahikaua, a me ka pepehi, a me ka luku aku, a hana aku no hoi i ka poe inaina mai ia lakou mamuli o ko lakou makemake.
The Jews struck all their enemies with the stroke of the sword, and with slaughter and destruction, and did what they wanted to those who hated them.
6 A ma Susana, ma ka pakaua, luku aku la na Iudaio me ka pepehi aku, i elima haneri kanaka.
In the citadel of Susa, the Jews killed and destroyed five hundred men.
7 A o Paresanedata, a me Dalepona, a me Asepata,
They killed Parshandatha, Dalphon, Aspatha,
8 A o Porata, a me Adalia a me Aridata,
Poratha, Adalia, Aridatha,
9 A o Paremaseta, a me Arisai, a me Aridai, a me Vaiezata,
Parmashta, Arisai, Aridai, and Vaizatha,
10 O na keikikane he umi a Hamana ke keiki a Hamedata, ka enemi o na Iudaio, ka lakou i luku ai; aka, aole i kau lakou i ko lakou mau lima maluna o ka waiwai pio.
the ten sons of Haman the son of Hammedatha, the Jews’ enemy, but they didn’t lay their hand on the plunder.
11 Ia la, laweia mai i ke alii ka heluna o ka poe i lukuia ma Susana, ma ka pakaua.
On that day, the number of those who were slain in the citadel of Susa was brought before the king.
12 I mai la ke alii ia Esetera, i ke alii wahine, Ua pepehi na Iudaio, me ka luku aku i elima haneri kanaka ma Susana ka pakaua nei, a me na keiki he umi a Hamana. Heaha hoi ka lakou i hana'i ma na aina e o ke alii? Heaha kau mea e nonoi mai ai? E haawiia no ia ia oe. Heaha hoi kau kauoha? E hanain no ia.
The king said to Esther the queen, “The Jews have slain and destroyed five hundred men in the citadel of Susa, including the ten sons of Haman; what then have they done in the rest of the king’s provinces! Now what is your petition? It shall be granted you. What is your further request? It shall be done.”
13 Alaila, i aku la o Esetera, Ina i lealea ke alii, e haawiia mai na na Iudaio ma Susana nei, e hana i ka la apopo, e like me ke kanawai o neia la, a e liia na keiki he umi a Humana ma ke olokea.
Then Esther said, “If it pleases the king, let it be granted to the Jews who are in Susa to do tomorrow also according to today’s decree, and let Haman’s ten sons be hanged on the gallows.”
14 Kauoha ae ke alii e hanaia pela; a ma Susana ke kau ana o ia kanawai; a li iho la lakou i na keiki he umi a Hamana.
The king commanded this to be done. A decree was given out in Susa; and they hanged Haman’s ten sons.
15 Hoakoakoa hou ae la na Iudaio ma Susana, i ka la umikumamaha o ka malama o Adara, a luku aku la i na kanaka ma Susana, i ekolu haneri; aka, aole lakou i kau i ko lakou lima ma ka waiwai pio.
The Jews who were in Susa gathered themselves together on the fourteenth day also of the month Adar, and killed three hundred men in Susa; but they didn’t lay their hand on the plunder.
16 A o ka poe Iudaio e, ma na mokuna o ke alii, hoakoakoa lakou, a malama hoi i ko lakou ola, a maha lakou i ko lakou poe enemi, a luku ae la no hoi i kanahikukumamalima tausani o ka poe i inaina mai ia lakou. Aka, aole lakou i kau i ko lakou lima ma ka waiwai pio.
The other Jews who were in the king’s provinces gathered themselves together, defended their lives, had rest from their enemies, and killed seventy-five thousand of those who hated them; but they didn’t lay their hand on the plunder.
17 I ka la umikumamakolu o ka malama o Adara, a i ka la umikumamaha, hoomaha lakou, a hoolilo ia la, i la ahaaina, a i la olioli.
This was done on the thirteenth day of the month Adar; and on the fourteenth day of that month they rested and made it a day of feasting and gladness.
18 Aka, o na Iudaio ma Susana, hoakoakoa lakou ma ka la umikumamakolu o ia malama, a ma ka la umikumamaha; a i ka la umikumamalima hoomaha lakou, a hoolilo ia la i la ahaaina, a i la olioli.
But the Jews who were in Susa assembled together on the thirteenth and on the fourteenth days of the month; and on the fifteenth day of that month, they rested, and made it a day of feasting and gladness.
19 No ia mea, o na Iudaio ma na papu, ka poe i noho maloko o na kulanakauhale paa ole i ka pa, hoolilo lakou i ka la umikumamaha o ka malama o Adara i la olioli, a i la ahaaina, a i la maikai, a i la haawi wale i ka ai i kekahi i kekahi.
Therefore the Jews of the villages, who live in the unwalled towns, make the fourteenth day of the month Adar a day of gladness and feasting, a holiday, and a day of sending presents of food to one another.
20 Kakau iho la o Moredekai i keia mau mea, a hoouna ae la i na palapaia i na Iudaio a pau, ma na aina a pau o ke alii, o Ahasuero, ma kahi kokoke, a ma kahi loihi aku,
Mordecai wrote these things, and sent letters to all the Jews who were in all the provinces of the King Ahasuerus, both near and far,
21 E hoomau iwaena o lakou ka malama ana i ka la umikumamaha o ka malama o Adara, a me ka la umikumamalima, i kela makahiki i keia makahiki,
to enjoin them that they should keep the fourteenth and fifteenth days of the month Adar yearly,
22 I na la hoi i hoomahaia'i na Iudaio i ko lakou poe enemi, i ka malama hoi i hoololiia no lakou, mai ke kaumaha i ka olioli, a mai ke kanikau ana i ka hauoli, i hoolilo lakou ia mau la i la ahaaina, a i la olioli, a i la haawi wale i ka ai i kekahi i kekahi, a me ka manawalea aku i ka poe ilihune.
as the days in which the Jews had rest from their enemies, and the month which was turned to them from sorrow to gladness, and from mourning into a holiday; that they should make them days of feasting and gladness, and of sending presents of food to one another, and gifts to the needy.
23 Hoao na Iudaio e hana e like me ka lakou i hoomaka ai, a e like hoi me ka Moredekai i palapala aka ai ia lakou.
The Jews accepted the custom that they had begun, as Mordecai had written to them,
24 No ka mea, o Hamana, ke keiki a Hamedata ke Agaga, ka enemi o na Iudaio a pau, ua imi hala mea ku e i na Iudaio e make ai lakou, a ua hoolei pura, oia hoi ka hailona, i mea e pepehi ai, a e luku ai hoi ia lakou;
because Haman the son of Hammedatha, the Agagite, the enemy of all the Jews, had plotted against the Jews to destroy them, and had cast “Pur”, that is the lot, to consume them and to destroy them;
25 A hele aku la o Esetera imua i ke alo o ke alii, kauoha ae la ia ma na palapala, e hoihoiia maluna o kona poo iho ka manao hewa ana i manao ai i na Iudaio, a e liia hoi oia a me kana mau keikikane maluna o ke olokea.
but when this became known to the king, he commanded by letters that his wicked plan, which he had planned against the Jews, should return on his own head, and that he and his sons should be hanged on the gallows.
26 Nolaila lakou i kapa ai ia mau la, o Purima, mamuli o ka inoa o Pura. Nolaila, no na huaolelo a pau iloko o ia palapala, a no na mea a lakou i ike ai o ia mau mea, a no na mea i hiki mai ai maluna o lakou,
Therefore they called these days “Purim”, from the word “Pur.” Therefore because of all the words of this letter, and of that which they had seen concerning this matter, and that which had come to them,
27 Kau no na Iudaio i kanawai, a hoopaa hoi no lakou, a no ka lakou poe keiki, a no ka poe a pau i hai pa me lakou, i mea e haule ole ai, e malama lakou ia mau la elua, e like me ka palapala, a me ka manawa, i kela makahiki, i keia makahiki,
the Jews established and imposed on themselves, on their descendants, and on all those who joined themselves to them, so that it should not fail that they would keep these two days according to what was written and according to its appointed time every year;
28 I hoomanaoia'i ia mau la, i malamaia hoi i na hanauna a pau, e na ohana a pau ma na aina a pau, a ma na kulanakauhale a pau; i haule ole keia mau la Purima iwaena o na Iudaio, i ole hoi e pau ka hoomanao ana o ka lakou mamo i ua mau la la.
and that these days should be remembered and kept throughout every generation, every family, every province, and every city; and that these days of Purim should not fail from among the Jews, nor their memory perish from their offspring.
29 Alaila, o Esetera, ke alii wahine, ke kaikamahine a Abihaila, a me Moredekai, ka Iudaio, palapala ikaika aku laua e hoopaa i Keia plapala lua o ka Purima.
Then Esther the queen, the daughter of Abihail, and Mordecai the Jew wrote with all authority to confirm this second letter of Purim.
30 A hoouna ae la oia i na palapala, i na Iudaio a pau, i na aina he haneri me ka iwakaluakumamahiku o ke aupuni o Ahasuero, me na olelo aloha, a me ka oiaio,
He sent letters to all the Jews in the hundred twenty-seven provinces of the kingdom of Ahasuerus with words of peace and truth,
31 E hoopaa ia mau la Purima, i ko lakou manawa pono e like me ka Moredekai, ka ka Iudaio, a me ka Esetera, ka ke alii wahine i kauoha ai ia lakou, a e like hoi me ka lakou i hooholo ai no lakou iho, a no na keiki me na mamo a lakou, i na mea hoi o ka hookeai ana, a me ka uwe ana.
to confirm these days of Purim in their appointed times, as Mordecai the Jew and Esther the queen had decreed, and as they had imposed upon themselves and their descendants in the matter of the fastings and their mourning.
32 Na ke kanawai o Esetera i hoopaa keia mau mea o ka Purima; a kakauia iho la no hoi ia iloko o ka buke.
The commandment of Esther confirmed these matters of Purim; and it was written in the book.
